London Drum Lessons

Hello, I’m Andy! Welcome to my South East London drum lesson website.

I’m a professional drummer and Drum teacher based in London, my lessons are structured  to fit the needs of my students, based on age, experienced music taste and goals. Whether you’re  a beginner that never held a stick before, you’re looking for music class for your kid, you want to develop a certain music style or technique I’m your guy.

Lessons can be held in my private Studio in central London, as home visit, online, or upon the schools I’m teaching (Cherry Pie music in Wimbledon or HCM in Ware, Hertfordshire). Drum lessons can be 30-45-60 min long, individual, couple or groups, just get in touch and I’ll let you know plans and availability.

Bio

I started play drums at 13 in high school, after the diploma I continued my studies in prestigious institutions like The Drum Studio, Saint Louis College of Music and La Sapienza (where I had my Bhons) all located in Rome Studying drums, guitar, piano, Music, Composition, theory and Music Journalism. After my Graduation I moved to London to continue my studies at BIMM (formerly known as  Drumtech) then I started teaching right after that alongside my performer career, alternating recording studios, music schools and any possible kind of stage (from the local pub to Glastonbury Festival).
